And bonus, the Great Grandchildren will qualify for senior discounts by then.
More than 4 min of total eclipse at my house with perfect sunny skies. It was amazing! And I agree w/ above posters, the up to "99.9% part" was "ok", but when it hit 100%, that was something entirely different! We had relatives and friends over, and one had a telescope w/ a solar funnel, a countdown app, etc... That was really neat!
But it seems the traffic afterward was awful. My friends reported 6+ hours drive for what should've been 4, and that was with staying for dinner instead of leaving right afterward. It seems like all of Chicago came to Indianapolis to see the event. Another acquaintance reported 6 hours driving back from Lebanon to Chicago.

My older son and his wife came to our place from Grand Rapids on Sunday. Then my wife and other kids joined them and they all went to a park in Greenfield to picnic and watch the eclipse. We're near I-65, but my son being the intelligent man he is, he stuck to back roads and state highways. They experienced no traffic issues. Honestly, about half the time I go from Valparaiso to Indy I take 421 or 31 just to avoid I-65. I give up a little time, but also much aggravation. 421 particularly is a pleasant drive.More than 4 min of total eclipse at my house with perfect sunny skies. It was amazing!

Did you think you were in the OSUT thread?
Don’t know if they can be downloaded or not but some great photos on the www. Bill Nye on the TV news said this wasn’t a true CME, he used another term that escapes me rite now. Still cool.
Been posted in either this thread or possibly in the Governor Holcomb Emergency thread (paraphrasing).
I am not sure if it would be considered "good" but it is visible. Took this with my 200mm lens.
Has the international space station and what looked like a rocket launch during the eclipse been discussed?
During the eclipse, looking SW, I saw a bright object as shown in the lower right of the picture. It was much brighter in real time, of the space station?
Also saw something like a rocket launch which was very visible below and then above the eclipse (in pic), especially due to the speed. Read something about launches from Virginia and one about New Mexico, which was the SW viewing direction.

West Baden hotel. Before restoration I played basketball inside that rotunda in the late 70s. Larry Bird basketball camp had set up the goals inside the perimeter! Have a pic of me and the Bird showing that setup somewhere.
What was that red spot at the bottom of the moon during the eclipse?
During totality, some eclipse viewers could see a red burst that's actually a rare occurrence called a solar prominence.
